The x62 is super attractive, except even the sxga+ mod is still a dim CCFL, or if you mod for led slightly brighter but colors all wrong with all sorts of artifacts from the light strip, and aftermarket-only awful batteries.

Typing this on an LED SXGA X61, you want: https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/thinkpad/led-kit.shtml

No banding on the bottom, accurate colors, and great brightness.

My mod was less successful, and the colors are definitely off. Having done the mod myself and seen how cumbersome it is to get the LED strip perfectly oriented in the CCFL gutter, I'm not likely to try again.
